You should better embed your images as resource. Please check the documentation.
You can also try #property tester_file.

As you said I've just tried this code but the strategy tester doesn't find the images.
#resource "\\Images\\M5-0.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-10.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-20.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-30.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-40.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-50.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-60.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-70.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5-80.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+10.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+20.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+30.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+40.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+50.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+60.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+70.bmp"; #resource "\\Images\\M5+80.bmp";

Hi, everybody. I created an indicator with custom images drawn as OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL objects. I placed the images in Images folder inside the MQL5 folder.
When I try my indicator in the strategy tester only empty squares are appearing although I created an equal Images folder inside the MQL5 folder of the strategy tester Agent.
Could some help me? Thanks
